Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup

Compatibility
These sneakers are designed for versatile casual and lifestyle compatibility. They pair well with:
- Jeans, chinos, or shorts for an everyday look.
- Athleisure wear for a relaxed, stylish ensemble.
- Can be dressed up slightly with tailored trousers for a smart-casual aesthetic.
Care
Given the suede material on the upper, proper care is crucial to maintain the shoe's appearance:
- Water and Stain Protection: Before first wear, consider applying a high-quality suede protector spray to help repel water and stains.
- Regular Cleaning:
- Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
- For tougher marks, use a suede eraser or specialized cleaner designed for suede. Apply sparingly and follow product instructions.
- Avoid harsh scrubbing or excessive moisture, which can damage the suede.
- Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and material degradation.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash suede shoes. This can severely damage the material and structure.
